part of getting sober involves change.....i couldnt stay sober for more than a few months at a time until i became willing to change my friends.....it was the hardest thing i ever did in my life,but now i have over 5 years sober.....i havent talked to any of my old friends during this time and now all of my friends are sober people from the program....as far as the superbowl goes,thats another thing you should think twice about........ things like that were always an excuse for me to drink,new years,fat tuesday,st pattys day,wednesday,thursday,friday,etc.....after getting sober i treated these days like any other,i dont really celebrate holidays and events like i used to.....get to some meetings,get a little bit of sober time and give the clean life a chance, you will probably be so relieved to be sober that you will stop caring about the old drinking holidays and hopefully stop caring about drinking in general........good luck
